In the Committee a clause proposed by the Earl of MoraA, for rendering the Curates aaing under the Bill liable to penalties for dilapidations on the vicar age houses; was opposed, on'the ground that there was an anion at conntuon law in such cases.—On a division, the clause was negatived by a Majority of 26 to 6. Another division took place on an amendment proposed by the Archbishop' of CANTERBURY, on the clause calling upon the Bishop, when assigning . to any Curate the , allowances under this Bill, -to as-4 sign the reasons on which he interfered. His Grace armed, that though the Bishops were by the Consti tution responsible to the King as the Head of the Church, they were not under the controul of the Privy Council . It was therefore unconstitulional now . to subject} them to the authority of that Tribunal. The amendment was supported by Lord HAwxES. and opposed by The LORD CHANCELLOR, who, though he allowed that the Bishops were in ordinary cases responsible only to the Crown, maintained that when extraor dinary powers were given to them by the Legisla- Lure, there was a right in the Legislature to and controul the exercise of those powers.

Ir the deliVeranee of Spain from the clangers which threaten it, were the only good effea - that we have reason to expect from the glorious spirit which has arisen in - that country, it would be sufficient to justify .the -British Government in Mending all the Support in its . power to aid so noble a - cause. But the conduct of BeesrainaTz has been so outrageous an attack upon the rights of an independent and un offending Peopisa, -that it would not be wonderful if other Nations of Europe were to Make a resolute struggle to escape .. from the dreadful bondage to ,which he has reduced them.. All the Princes on the Continent - , -whether under his power, or ob liged to temporize, lest they should be the'objeas of his vengeance, must view him-with horror, and it is impossible that their siihjeilt eaulttavisi'd foaling, the same sentiments before this last a& of his perfidy to Spain ; so that, in faEf, all Europe is against him, and his downfall would gratify every heart that con tains the smallest spark of virtue and regard for the rights of mankind. The intrepid spirit which marks the Proclamations that have been issued-by the Spa nish Patriots affords a.good Omen of the probablesue cess of their cause. Considering the unrelenting nature of the Tyrant, it is impossible that they would have ex pressed their detestation of his charaaer and hi's de signs, with sudh resolution, if their were not'confident Sri their' strength, and had not reason to believe that they shall be able to drivebun and his infamous!_ hordes from their Country, or sacrifice them to the vengeance which his ambition has provoked. But if those animated Prdclarriatiens should reach the French Army;Considdring how reluaantly so many of them have been drawn into the field, they - may ,he disposed to look 'with respea and compassion on the people whom they are ordered to butcher into sla . Very, particularly 1s some of these Proclamations make a just distinction between the Tyrant andthe French people, whose submission to such aTyrant they con- Sider as involuntary, and for whose fate they ex press a dignified sense of pity. When the.treat spent which the Head of the Romish Church has received from ByciNAl , Airrit Comes to be generally known arming those who sincerely profess the Ro . man Catholic Religion, it will tend still more to excite hor ror and indignation azainst theintinuotraanthor o ()ouch Proceedings Even the venerable Pontiff himself, we end, lint been roused by this monstrous treatment to oppose the orders of the ryrant;ao to desire the Cardinals, .Prelates, and Offices attached to his Court, not to obey BUONAPARTE'S command—that they should dissolve themselves as a body, and re turn to the respeaive - places' of their We hope, as we havd - before that the ~ Holy Father will be animated ,to still greater heroism, sad that he will exclude the Tyrant from . the protetion of that Church which he ailed erl to reverence, but the Head of which he has de pristed of a ll power, airdaaually reduced to beggary. the midst of these cheering considerationif, which happily come to relieve that gloom' which the success of this sanguinary Despot had cast over the world, we feel much : regret that 'somp, of the 'Publiz.''Prints which' have expressed a no.: ble , sympathy in the cause of Slain , are. every day stiffing peevish fears that ii,tioisters Lot be 'cufteiently atiiive and vigorous in support - o• Cat cause. They cannot but know, if ~ . they attend - it' all to the operattons, of that Gm ern- ment which they appear toe ready to censure, that Ministers have exerted themselves with all'possible zeal on the occasion, and that not a moment has been lost in preparation to give the aid of this Coun try in support of the Patriotic Spanish Arany. Mi nisters know, in fat, that, by-assisting Spain against the common Enemy of mankind, they are fighting the battles of this Country, and therefore policy and interest, as well as every laudable impulse of gene rous sympathy, will urge them to. persevere in lend ing all practicable support to such a glorious enter. prize. No further official accounts have reachejltown from Spain, but vve understand that a respe6able Merchant in the City has received a Letter from that Country, which states, that the Patriots, to the amount of 60,000, had advanced to Madrid, for the purpose of expelling the French from that city—that MURAT had advanced to give them battle, and that after a most obstinate aetion he was defeated, and compelled to retreat and take a position near Retiero, a royal palace, about eighteen miles from .ladrid, *here he was entrenching himself, and waiting for reinforcements. We have nut seen tiiis Letter, nor do we know by what conveyance it came; we have, therefore, no means of deciding upon the degree of credit to which it is entitled. LarrEas have been received from Oporto, dated the. t sth inst. which state, that the Division of the French Army, under the commend of General Du- PONT, which had commenced its march from Ma drid, received orders to halt when it, had advanced as far 'as Famblique, - and that they had returned t 6 Madrid in consequence of the formidable appearance of -the Insurre6tion in the Northern Provinces. We' also learn with.. satisfataion, that a body of i too French Troops whiCh had advanced - to Zamora had laid down their arms, and surrendered themselves Prisoners of War to the Patriots. The Accounts w hich were yesterday received from Heligoland state, that a ,very considerable degree of ferment pievailed aiming the Spanish Troops in' Holstein; and a. report still continued to prevail of an increasing coolness between ,the Ven c ch and Danes. A Messenger from England, it is said, late ly left Heligoland for Vienna. Yesterday, about 12 o'clock, their MAzairrEs and the Pl q arrived at the Queen's Palace from Windsor. In a short time after her IviaausTY and the PutNcassett honoured Lady 'CHARLOTTE Frwca with a visit; at her apartments in St. J'ames's Palace. In the evening their MAJESTIES had a se lea party.

Extra& of a Letter from Corunna, June 21 : You, np doubt, have been informed of the treachery of NAPOLEON ; but this generous uaticon, inflamed with a spirit of loyalty to theirlegitimate King, and an ardent love of their religion, is,deter mined to assert its sights ; and is actually rising en masse to avenge its injured honour. We reckon that 300,001) men are already raised in the various armies, well appointed, and commanded by our best. Generals. Within two months, we shall have above 400,000 soldiers in arm ; for there is only one voice and one wi,h throughout - the country; and'all fly with alacrity to its service., Nothing Can arrest our progresS,bat the want .of money. `‘• It will be a Most fortunate circumstance if the British Government should assist us by making a di version in the North, and contributing these supplies in money and 'arms of which we stand in need. Within the space of eight days, Galicia has orga nized a formidable force of 45,009 men. I include in this riumber 20„000 veteran troops, which were divided bet Ween these pla,ces, Ferrol, and, Oporto,, and which have pow formed a junction in'Lugo and O.rt ,se, with a powerful train or artillery. - Two di visions of these troops, consisting of. 11,060 . num each, are . in full march towards Castile, and the: 'n?aitider will fo)lbw immediately. 'We' are employed in formjng another army of 40,000 men to defend our frontier tovirards Castile, already so difficult of access by the rhountains which' separate us. In Madrid ana its vicinity, the French have about '40,000 men,,anci at Burgos and its neighbour hood :o,oop more; but pressed on all sides by large armies, they will have the choice only of perishing surrendering..or Our most ardent wish it, to free the capital from the authority of The French, so that our Government may TehliMe its fund ions, ar.d treat formally for Peace with.
